Boosted Framework for Web Accessible and responsvie Websites, OW2con'16, Paris. OW2
Training developer to accessibility is not enough; they need ready-to-use tools.
Responsive Design has been the trigger for many web sites refactoring that gave opportunity for accessibility improvement. By the end of 2014 we compared the major market solutions and Bootstrap appeared to be the best. They benefited from a really big support community, a robust and functional framework, open source and of course with a quite good accessibility level. So we decided to use this framework. We studied how to make its accessibility even better and submitted our improvements to the community. That was a good starting point but not enough, we’ve also got some Orange specific components, our brand is not blue and we want to share our work easily with everybody. That’s why we created an open source fork of Bootstrap, called Boosted, providing the best from native Bootstrap and adding up the Orange Brand, some specific components, and an even higher accessibility level.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Editor's Notes
From F2F notes on the wiki (https://wiki.dlib.indiana.edu/display/VarVideo/Metadata+Decision+for+R1):Decision - MODS will be used for R1 for descriptive metadataBased on the following:Comparison between PBCore and MODS is fairly even for expected descriptive metadata elements in the system, but there is a difference in subject, where MODS allows for more explicitly-faceted subjects than PBCoreExample:pbcoreSubject = Silent films -- France -- 20th centuryVSmods:subject mods:topic = Silent films mods:geographic = France mods:temporal = 20th centuryMETS is being used for structural/content metadata, for R1, which means PBCore would not have instantiations, only descriptive metadataPBCore without instantiation is kind of pointless MODS is still recognizable and usableMODS can definitely happen for R1PBCore is something that can be created and added to the system later and is not necessary for the system we're building (at least in R1)Gives us more time to work in PBCore for technical metadata purposesOther metadata besides PBCore might be better for technical metadata - talk to partners about that; AES standards have better audio technical metadata but not necessarily video - requires investigationMODS allows for a language to be associated with an intellectual objectPBCore only allows a language to be associated with the instantiation so the intellectual object in PBCore would not be able to have any language(s) associated
